Take the Brees-less Saints over the Falcons

Neil Greenberg likes the Saints (-3) over the Falcons, in part because of New Orleans’ success without Drew Brees:

“New Orleans has also thrived despite not having Drew Brees under center. The team is 7-0 both straight-up and against the spread without Brees since the start of last season, scoring four more points per game than expected in those contests after accounting for the down, distance and field position of each offensive play, per data from TruMedia. The Saints have an eight-game winning streak; look for them to make it nine in a row on Sunday.”
